(2022 Silks)Ranked: Tier 1Jacqueline Carey KC – 2 Bedford Row ‘Jac has outstanding judgment. She cuts through the most complex legal and factual problems to get to the essential points and then identifies exactly how to deal with them. Her written and oral advocacy is excellent and highly effective. Clients love her straightforward style.’
2 Bedford Row remains a ‘premier’ set for high-profile defence and prosecution work. Jim Sturman KC represented former police officer Wayne Couzens, who entered a guilty plea to the rape and murder of Sarah Everard, in his appeal against sentence, which involved issues as to if an individual who pleaded guilty could receive a whole-life tariff, among other questions about the most serious murder tariffs. Stan Reiz KC recently acted for a Liverpool man charged with the attempted murder of a man (his original target) and a schoolgirl in a cycle-by shooting – the defendant was convicted of attempted murder of the man, but acquitted of attempted murder of the girl on the basis that the doctrine of transferred malice does not apply to attempted murder. Turning to prosecution work, Jacqueline Carey KC successfully prosecuted former reality television personality Stephen Bear, who received a 21-month prison sentence for sexual offences including selling secretly filmed footage of him having sex with his ex-partner, a former Love Island contestant, on OnlyFans. Mark Milliken-Smith KC, as was, was appointed as a Circuit Judge in December 2023.
